9 Spirit Tortoise
9 Spirit Tortoise
In the afternoons of the past few days, Gao Feng stayed behind to help the teacher correct his homework. It is important to know that the knowledge in the textbook is no less than that of the teacher, and when the teacher explains the difficult problems in class, sometimes the teacher has not yet figured it out, and Gao Feng casually says it. But later I found out that it was difficult for the teacher to be a teacher, so I no longer spoke casually, and only when the teacher asked my own questions, I would stand up and answer. Telling Gao Feng to correct the homework is more reassuring than himself.
When Gao Feng heard that someone had come to the Taoist temple, his heart was already itching, but he didn't have time to take a look. I don't know how Lao Dao is now, go now, whether he recognizes himself as an apprentice. Today is to take time to visit the Taoist temple.
On a section of the mountain road not far from Baihu, Gao Feng was carrying his schoolbag home, because he was delayed to help the teacher correct his homework, and now he was the only one walking on the road, he wanted to simply carry his schoolbag to the Taoist temple first, otherwise it would be too late, and his grandmother would not let him go.
Just as Gao Feng thought this, a round black cake-like thing rolled down from the woods on the hillside, and then a fox chased after him with a large tail.
In the mountains, foxes can often be seen coming down to pick up chickens and ducks from farmers' homes at this time. As soon as they saw the fox, the people shouted, "The dog is coming...... The dog is coming......" The fox heard the shouts of the people, and gave up chasing the chickens and ducks.
These foxes are also fixed in which places, and the chickens and ducks at home must also be guarded, and Gao Feng often helps his grandmother guard the free-range ducks.
Today, this fox is chasing a stone like a black cake, Gao Feng has seen it for the first time, and he is very curious.
The black cake fell into the ditch under the road, and the fox pounced on it, and pulled it to the corner of the black cake, and turned around to leave.
Gao Feng habitually barked: "The dog is coming...... The dog came ......" and quickly chased after him, wondering what the fox was in his mouth.
When the fox heard the cry, another man chased after him, let go of the black cake in his mouth, and ran back into the forest.
Gao Feng walked before he saw that it was a turtle, one leg was bitten by a fox, and blood flowed.
The turtle is an ordinary animal, and it can be found everywhere in paddy fields, ditches, and small rivers.
At that time, the mountain people did not treat it as a rare tonic, a tortoiseshell was hard, and there was not much meat for meat, so it was given to others to eat, and they were afraid that it would waste oil and salt.
When I was working in the farmland, I suddenly stepped on something like a stone under my feet, and when I reached out and grabbed it, it turned out to be a turtle, and threw it into someone else's field.
However, this turtle is a little special, the turtle patterns on its body are particularly dense, and the lines are also golden, hiding a kind of light.
The tortoise was thrown to all fours by the fox, and the tortoise shell still flipped over with difficulty, and its head was retracted into its stomach, revealing only a pointed mouth and a pair of keen eyes.
The turtle had palpitations after the thrilling escape from the tiger's mouth just now. However, seeing Gao Feng, who had saved its life, he still stretched out his head and solemnly kowtowed to him three times. Then he dragged one of his injured legs forward, and after every three steps, he turned back and knocked three times to the main wind, and so on three times, for a total of nine kowtows to the high wind.
Gao Feng couldn't bear to look at the tortoise's injured leg, so he walked over and picked up the tortoise, wanting to take it home, heal its wounds, and then release it into the lake.
Gao Feng heard his grandmother say that turtles are human animals.
Someone released a turtle in Dongting Lake, and made a mark on the turtle's back, when this person went to Suzhou, thousands of miles away, to do business and was killed, this turtle did not know what kind of water, land, and found the person concerned to greet him. With the blessing of this turtle, this man finally got out of trouble.
Gao Feng put the injured turtle in the yard to raise loaches.
The turtle will eat small fish and shrimp, and Gao Feng will catch a lot of it and throw some rice for it.
Under Gao Feng's careful care, the turtle's leg injury healed quickly.
Every time he fed the turtle, Gao Feng would lie on the edge of the water tank and watch quietly, and from time to time he would reach out to tease it.
This turtle is also very special, the fine cracks on its body are not found on other turtles, and the cracks are also golden, which is really a bit like a monk's Gaza. Could it be that this turtle is cultivating into a refinement?
In fact, this is an old turtle that is more than 800 years old, and it can be seen from the cracks on the turtle's body. It turned out that this turtle was released by the ancestor of the Taoist temple in Baihu Village, and it was originally placed in the health lake of the Taoist temple, but it was transferred to the white lake under the mountain because the health lake was destroyed.
Now in the lake, the turtle learned that the Taoist Temple was going to cultivate goodness, and he was excited and wanted to go up the mountain to see, but he didn't expect to meet the vicious fox on the way, and he happened to be rescued by Gao Feng.
The turtle is alert and shrinks its head into its stomach when it sees a person. If you stay for a long time to confirm that it is safe, you will also stick your head out.
However, Gao Feng is still a little afraid of the turtle, if he reaches over and is bitten by the turtle and retracts into his stomach, it is a terrible thing. I heard that it was going to be thunder before the turtle stuck its head out and let go.
Gao Feng was not afraid of this old turtle at all, because he saw that it was very human. Now that they are familiar with each other, as soon as Gao Feng brings something to him to eat, it will first look at Gao Feng, as if to thank him, and then slowly bite the rice grain.
When the old turtle is full, Gao Feng will tease it. This time, he didn't pay attention to the high wind, and the turtle actually bit his left finger and shrank it into his stomach.
Gao Feng was startled, what should I do now? You don't really have to wait for thunder to pull it out of this turtle's mouth, do you?
As soon as the tension passed, Gao Feng didn't feel very scared, because the finger was not very painful in the turtle's mouth, just a very tight squeezing feeling, Gao Feng tried to pull out the finger, but found that there was no sign of loosening, as if the finger was growing with the turtle's mouth.
Then, Gao Feng felt a cool sensation extending from his fingers, palms, arms, neck, and head......
The cool feeling reached his head, and Gao Feng felt a kind of dizziness that almost fell off. At this moment, the old turtle actually stretched out his head and let go of Gao Feng's finger.
When the dizziness subsided, Gao Feng looked at his left finger, which was not bitten by the old turtle, but only a vague gossip map was printed on the belly of the finger.
The cool feeling on the body enters the meridians and enters the blood, the cool feeling on the body is slowly subsiding, and the body surface of the whole body is also sweating slightly.
Gao Feng suddenly felt that his whole body was unobstructed, and he was more relaxed and energetic than before, this is really an incomparable feeling, I didn't expect that this turtle bite would have such an effect.
………………
In the evening, my grandmother called Gao Feng to carry "King Wen's Bagua Map". Since you go to the Taoist temple to learn from the master, you must study harder, don't pay a piece of the master's heart, the master can only lead the way into the door, and the extent to which you can practice depends on the efforts and edification of each person.
Grandma still doesn't know the way, and Gao Feng hasn't officially worshiped the old way as a teacher. No matter what time the elders are, they always have an inexhaustible heart for the younger ones.
Gao Feng held the "Bagua Diagram of King Wen", and when Zuo Mu touched the book, a strange scene occurred, all the knowledge in the book flashed in front of Gao Feng's eyebrows, processed and stored in Gao Feng's brain. It's a bit like the data of the future generations is processed and stored in a computer.
Gao Feng tried to concentrate and look at the brain screen in front of his brain, but now he can leave the book, remember all the contents of the book, and understand and use it thoroughly and thoroughly.
Hexagram, Hexagram, Hexagram Tai...... These hexagrams actually come in a certain order, which is the interaction between yin and yang, the result of the growth of yang and the elimination of yin, and the birth of yin and yang, and it is also a combination and arrangement of each other.
What I didn't understand for many days has now become simpler, the Thai hexagram is that the yin energy of the earth rises below, the yang energy falls, the yin and yang converge, and all things are born; The negative hexagram is that the earth qi and yin qi fall, the yang qi rises, the yin and yang do not intersect, and all things wither. As long as the Thai hexagram and the negative hexagram are moved, they will be transformed into each other, and it is really Taiji and Taiji.
At this time, grandma was helping Gao Feng sew a gown outside, and accidentally dropped the needle in her hand. Grandma called Gao Feng to help her find the needle.
Guess where the needle will fall on the side of the high wind? Suddenly, a dry hexagram flashed in my mind. It didn't take long for the image to disappear.
According to Gao Feng's judgment, this diagram represents the sky and the north, and the needle has not fallen to the ground, but is still on the table, and the north side is a place by the window.
Gao Feng tried to see if his test was accurate, so he didn't move and said: "Grandma, your needle hasn't fallen off, it's on the table by the window!" ”
Grandma was not dazzled in her fifties, and at a glance she saw the developing needles on the table. However, she looked for it many times just now and didn't see it, Gao Feng didn't move in the room, how could she know that the Dao needle was on the table?
"Feng'er, you have clairvoyance! Grandma has searched many times but has not found it, how do you know where the needle is in the middle of the room? It won't be Grandma Meng! ”
"Grandma, aren't I learning the "King Wen Bagua Map" and deducing it?"
"Stinky boy, you want to be lazy, and if you don't want to endorse the book, you can use this to get grandma."
Grandma didn't believe it also had her reasons, Gao Feng had been studying "King Wen's Bagua Diagram" for less than two months, and it was impossible to calculate things the size of needles and threads and sesame seeds. Some people have studied all their lives, but they may not be able to pinch a few hexagrams?
Gao Feng also knew that if it wasn't for the help of the spirit turtle, he wouldn't even be able to make a hexagram now.
